It's time to rethink water..

The problem? 

Mounting pressure to meet sustainability goals clash with reliance on a single, vulnerable water source. Airwater Co. offers a solution. Our technology decentralizes drinking water production, creating fresh water on-site, on-demand.

We are a sustainable water solutions company that specializes in making high quality drinking water by extracting humidity from the air. We are currently focused on the development and manufacturing of atmospheric water generators (“AWGs”). 

We are a first mover in direct air-to-water technology and aspire to be one of the largest producers of sustainable water in the world upon completion of our bottling facilities. We produce high quality drinking water at a lower cost and a lower environmental impact than bottled water.

Years of research and development have allowed us to design air-to-water machines that deliver consistent high-quality drinking water within both air-conditioned internal settings and outdoor environments.

This not only alleviates pressure on ground water reserves but helps reduce the cost of transporting water through traditional piping infrastructure. We are also helping to reduce the use of plastic water bottles in the world. 
 
Our AWGs utilize a cooling condensation system, the prominent technology in the air-to-water industry, to produce drinking water. Cooling condensation systems condense humid air to lower its temperature to the point where the water vapor condenses into dew that is collected as water. Our AWGs filter the collected water and treat it with ultra-violet light to produce drinkable water.

FruitScout

Data was born in the fertile fields of Sumer around 5000 years ago, when a grower etched the first record of the crops into a clay tablet. Out of that harvest grew writing, math, and the rapid transformation of civilization itself.

At FruitScout, we are committed to bringing that full circle, by developing the tools for harvesting the data in the field… the data that gives the grower the understanding necessary to precisely manage each step throughout the season, from bud to bin.

We believe that the impact brought by a combination of experienced people and advanced machinery is greater than the sum of its parts. We believe that a grower with a phone is the most powerful data collector in history.
